TONIGHT’S  EVENT :    Long-time herp photographer Bill Love has prepared the best ‘How To’ presentation on herp photography he’s ever created and will show it tonight.  Bill has switched over from slides to digital during the past year, and made this brand new digital ‘slideshow’ in PowerPoint.  Now that every person on earth has a camera and is recording their pets and wild herps, this talk will have something that everyone can use to hone their skills on images for email, Internet forums, or just for their own enjoyment.  Don’t worry – this presentation is designed to be fun, NOT a bunch of boring gobbledygoop about f-stops and shutter speeds.  Bill will concentrate on the technique of getting your animals to look good that will work with ANY camera you have.  C’mon out for an enjoyable evening!

MEETING SITE : In Ft. Myers, Florida at the Calusa Nature Center , near Colonial Blvd. (S. R. 884) and Interstate 75. Get off I-75 at exit #136 (old exit #22) and go west (towards the coast) on 884 (Colonial Blvd.) for one-half mile, then turn right at the first traffic light onto Ortiz Ave., and then left into the Nature Center after only one-quarter mile. The Iona House meeting site is an older dark green house located to the left (as you enter the grounds) at the rear of the complex, back near where the school busses are parked.  The meeting opens at 7:00 pm, and the speaker usually starts no later than 7:15 pm.  Non-members must pay $3.00 at the door to attend the meeting. Click HERE for a map to the meeting site.  After this meeting, all attendees are invited to join "the core" for an informal nightcap at Uno's Pizzeria on Daniels Rd. just west of I-75. We will gather there after this meeting which ends at 8:30 pm.

WHO'S INVITED ? You are! Anyone with an interest in any aspect of herpetology or herpetoculture is welcome to attend, learn, and exchange their experiences with our friendly membership. Come out to meet others who keep, breed or study reptiles and amphibians, and let them share their fascination with you. We average 35 – 70 people attending every meeting.

Cookies and cold soda, a nightly raffle of live herps, herp products, and books follow each speaker's talk, and lots of herp camaraderie, gossip, and fun can be counted upon at all meetings !
